Josh Caddy out for eight weeks with broken foot

Geelong's Josh Caddy is set to miss eight weeks after he broke a foot in a mishap at training on Thursday.

Cats football manager Neil Balme said the midfielder had changed direction and heard a crack in his foot. He told the AFL website that subsequent scans “confirmed the injury and we expect him to miss around eight weeks”.

Caddy, 21, joined the Cats for the 2013 season after two years with Gold Coast. The Suns recruited him with pick No. 7 in the 2010 national draft.
